The 2020 Mustang HPP-HP

[VoodooBoss]

This looks pretty enticing with the EcoBoost 2.3L four cylinder. Second article compares this Mustang to its Camaro counterparts. No test results but the Mustang is quicker from 0-60. The HPP-HP looks like it should deliver on a road course.

Interesting. But for a hair under $40K, potential buyers would be better off getting a 1-2 year old used Mustang GT or last year's model that some dealer is struggling to move from their lot.

It's got my interest...

I'd like to see more on the efforts to keep the 10 speed cooler on track. Aside from that, the only thing I'm not liking are the Corsas...easy enough problem to fix.

Maybe some Cup2 tires and 15" 6pot calipers to round out the package ....and call it a RS (seems obvious!).... Would go over very well in Europe........

I'm surprised it doesn't come with the PP 15" six piston brakes. Bummer.

Kind of surprised they went with the Pirelli Corsas ,especially after the debacle so many had with them on the Boss 302 LS versions. Would have been nice if they had stayed with a Spanish Motor and some French shoes ( Michelin)!

 

[Mad Hatter]

Corsas are the only tire I have seen that started too disintegrate at the track (was on a GT3).... would chunking be the correct term?

 

[Bill Pemberton]

In Webster's dictionary, under "Chunky," is listed Skippy Peanut Butter and Corsas!

Lol... I forgot to say NEW tire....
